EURI:-KA srm:-er TEXT PUBLISHING THE BIRTH O F Special Book Offer THE BIRTH OF SYDNEY Edited and introduced by Tim Flannery SYDNEY!:DITtO AHD INT RODUCED BY This is a book to treasure even if you come from Adelaide or Perth. Tim Flannery's The Birth of Sydney is a keyhole on Australia's formative history, TIM FLANNERY concentrating on the early days in Sydney, but in the process illuminating parts of Australian history that have been hidden, lost or forgotten. It's also a rollicking tale of a particular city. Here are the stories that made the city of Sydney: the riotous debauchery of the convicts as lightning crackled above, the great Eora leader Bennelong joking with Arthur Phillip moments before the governor was speared, the enigmatic love of William Dawes and Patyegarang inscribed in a forgotten diary, all the brutality, humour and unpredictable tenderness of a frontier city. Thanks to Text Publishing, Emel<a Street has 15 copies of The Birth of Sydney to give away.

    CHAPTER 5 EPILOGUE It Has Been My Aim in This Thesis to Address a Two-Fold Proposition. Informed by My Reading of the Work of Gi

    CHAPTER 5 EPILOGUE It has been my aim in this thesis to address a two-fold proposition. Informed by my reading of the work of Gilles de Van, I have discovered that Verdi wished to realize a concept which he called posizione. He provided musical strategies which would delineate characters in their subjective and objective ‘position’ with regard to circumstance and to their relationship with other characters at any given moment of the operatic narrative. The term posizione was intended to denote a musico-dramatic mapping of the co-ordinates which could pinpoint this relationship. With Verdi’s concept in view I have investigated the posizione of Violetta Valéry’s character as it has evolved throughout the course of the operatic narrative of La traviata. In addressing the second facet of my proposition I have taken the term posizione into the broader context of its social implications for the character of Violetta and for women of suspect moral status. In order to do this I have investigated the literary and factual provenance of the narrative and the contemporary response of Despite Budden’s own speculative objection to the notion that Verdi compared Violetta with Giuseppina Strepponi, the possibility remains that the courtesan character elicited a special sympathy from Verdi. The life of Alexandre Dumas fils is the origin from which the narrative of La traviata is drawn. Dumas fils turned the experience of his own liaison with the courtesan Marie Duplessis into the novel La Dame aux Camélias which he later adapted for the stage. As characterized by Dumas, Duplessis, transformed into the more noble Marguerite Gautier, renounced her own happiness in order to save the reputation of the family to whom her lover Armand 192 Duval belonged.

  • INTRODUCTION and LITERATURE REVIEW a Subject

    INTRODUCTION and LITERATURE REVIEW a Subject

    CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION AND LITERATURE REVIEW A Subject for Our Time I want plots that are great, beautiful, varied, daring ... daring to an extreme, new in form and at the same time adapted to composing. If a person says I have done thus and so because Romani, Cammarano, and others did so ... then we no longer understand each other. Precisely because of the fact that those great men did it that way, I should like to have something different done. I shall have La Dame aux Camélias performed in Venice. It will perhaps be called La Traviata. A subject from our own time. Another person would perhaps not have composed it because of the costumes, because of the period, because of a thousand other foolish objections. I did it with particular pleasure. Everybody cried out when I proposed to put a hunchback on the stage. Well, I was overjoyed to compose Rigoletto, and it was just the same with Macbeth, and so on ...1 The plot of La traviata centres on its eponymous heroine Violetta and the development of her character whose posizione must be projected musically.2 Verdi used the term posizione to describe the plot-and-character-driven gesture which must be ‘articulated musically’.3 According to Gilles de Van, it ‘arises from a particular moment in the plot; a situation [posizione] almost invariably corresponds to a phase in 1 Werfel, Franz and Stefan, Paul, Verdi: The Man in His Letters, trans. Edward Downes (New York: Vienna House, 1973), p. 373. 2 The term posizione and other Italian terms and expressions will be found in the Glossary at the end of this thesis.
